Dancing With the Stars

Season 24: Episode 7

May 1st, 2017

On this episode of Dancing With the Stars, the remaining seven couples performed dances that captured the spirit of diverse movie genres in the first round of dancing.

This week, choreographer Mandy Moore (not the actress and singer) served as the guest judge.

To start off the show, Bonner and Sharna danced the Paso Doble in a western themed performance. With Bonner in his element, you’d think he’d be inspired and perform better, but he was still his stiff self. He was so wrapped in being a cowboy, that he forgot he was supposed to be a dancer. Each week, he does work hard to perform well, but he is not focused enough. Scoring a 29/40, Bonner and Sharna needed to step it up in order to move on in the competition.

Following Bonner and Sharna were Nancy and Artem, who danced the Tango to a romance themed dance. In this elegant and sophisticated dance, Nancy displayed her growth in the competition, seeming much more relaxed on the dance floor than in previous weeks. While her arms were out of position, the judges still enjoyed the performance and gave the couple a score of 36/40.

Dancing the Charleston to a silent movie themed performance, Simone and Sasha were put to the test. Performing one of the toughest dance styles of the night, the pair made the Charleston look easy and effortless, all while being their goofy selves. Scoring once of the highest scores of the night, a 37/40, Simone and Sasha continue to be one of the couples to beat.

Nick and Peta danced the Argentine Tango to an action movie themed dance. While there were moments of extreme precision, the judges also felt that there were several missteps and a lot of fumbling. Despite the criticism, Nick has seriously improved since embarking on his dancing journey, receiving his highest score of the competition, a 34/40. 

Dancing the Paso Doble to a horror themed performance, Rashad and Emma performed a passionate and energetic number. Their dance successfully told Jennings’ story, but his poor posture distracted the judges. With a score of 37/40, Rashad and Emma could possibly win this whole thing if they keep it up. They have the potential; Rashad just has to work on his posture.

Tonight, David and Lindsay danced the Salsa to a sci-fi themed number. Like last week, I was completely focused on Lindsay’s dancing. David was still too stiff, “like R2D2 meets C3PO,” Bruno said. With an entertaining and fun performance, David and Lindsay score a 32/40.

In the final performance of the first round, Normani and Val performed an Argentine Tango to a foreign film inspired dance. Scoring the highest score of the night, a perfect 40/40, the pair receives immunity for the first round. After Heather and Maks’ elimination last week, these two have really stepped up their game, and stood out to me. Based on tonight’s performance, I predict they’ll be in the finale with Rashad and Emma.

The second round of tonight’s episode was a dance off. Two couples dance at the same time, while the judges pick a winner for each pair of couples.

In the first dance off battle, Simone and Sasha battle it out with Nancy and Artem to the Cha-Cha. Simone and Sasha win over the judges and America with 63% of votes.

The second dance battle is Rashad and Emma vs. David and Lindsay. They dance the Jive, and the judges, as well as America, prefer Rashad and Emma, with 54% of votes for them.

The final dance off battle is between Nick and Peta and Bonner and Sharna. Dancing the Rumba, Bonner and Sharna impress the judges and win with 62% of votes.

With the three losing teams in the bottom, two get eliminated.

This week, we say goodbye to Nick and Peta and Nancy and Artem. Both couples grew immensely throughout the competition and deserved to make it as far as they did.

My top three: Rashad and Emma, Normani and Val, and Simone and Sasha.

Dancing With the Stars airs Monday nights at 8pm on ABC.

RuPaul’s Drag Race

Season 9: Episode 6

April 28th, 2017

It’s the episode everyone’s been waiting for… Snatch Game! #SNATCHGAME

We’re at that point during the season where if the queens don’t stand out, they’ll get sent home.

In this seasonal challenge, the queens must impersonate celebrities on a panel in the form of a Match Game parody, all while being judged by RuPaul (who acts as the host of the show) and guest judges Denis O’Hare and Candis Cayne (who are the contestants.)

The queens must be funny, quick on their feet, and most importantly, they have to make Ru laugh.

Trinity’s Amanda Lepore was decent. She looked just like her, which was quite frightening honestly, and had a few funny moments. It was a good character choice for her, guaranteeing her a spot in next week’s episode.

Valentina’s choice to impersonate Ariadna Gutiérrez, Miss Columbia who was crowned and uncrowned Miss Universe in 2015, was a smart move. While she did just enough to be safe this week, she could’ve pushed the character further. She kept repeating the same joke, but she made Ru laugh and she looked good doing it.

Farrah as Gigi Gorgeous was just boring. Visually, she was a spitting image, but her lack of personality prevented her from standing out. Even in the whole competition, she’s struggling to stand out. She’s not able to shine with the bigger personalities in the competition. The only thing that saved her tonight was her runway look. If Farrah doesn’t step up her game, she will go home.

Nina and Aja, who both impersonated past contestants of RPDR, made poor decisions tonight. Aja decided to go with Alyssa Edwards, one of the more memorable past contestants. While the queen is easy is impersonate, with her iconic tongue pop and notable catch phrases, an Alyssa impersonation has been done before by previous winner Violet Chachki. Aja’s idea just isn’t original enough and it depicts her as a weak player.

Although Nina’s Jasmine Masters was spot on, the challenge was to impersonate an iconic celebrity. Her Jasmine was well executed, however, the effort needed to play a successful Jasmine is very low. She gets brownie points for a good impersonation, but I’m taking them right back for her lack of creativity. Despite her lack of ingenuity, Nina regained her confidence this week and played by her own rules. If she continues with this positive attitude and stops getting in her own head, she just might be able to survive the rest of the competition.

Shea Couleé as Naomi Campbell was a big hit with the judges. She had the attitude, look, sass, and knew exactly what to say and do to convey her character. With her hilarious banter, she downright stole the show. Right now, Shea’s the one to beat in this competition. The other girls really need to step it up if they want to win.

While Marlene Dietrich is someone not many of today’s youth knows about, Sasha’s performance was extraordinary. Her banter with RuPaul was on point. She was quick and witty, just like you’re supposed to be for “Snatch Game.” While she’s been in the background for most of the competition, I think her performance tonight put her right back in the game.

Alexis Michelle’s Liza Minnelli was spot on. While it’s taken nine seasons for a contestant to do Minnelli on “Snatch Game,” the wait was well worth it. You could tell that she had a strong appreciation and understanding of the performer and that is what “Snatch Game” is all about.  The point is to impersonate an iconic celebrity that you know enough about to actually become the celebrity and make it humorous. Alexis was able to do just that, and as a result, won this week’s challenge.

Acting more like themselves than the characters they were meant to portray, Cynthia’s Sophia Vergara and Peppermint’s NeNe Leakes put them both up for elimination this week.

Cynthia’s performance was a huge disaster. With a thick accent like Vergara’s, Cynthia should’ve been able to pull it off. Visually, she looked nothing like her, and the judges were unimpressed. With the second chance that she was given, she should’ve stepped it up.

Peppermint’s NeNe looked like it was improvised on the spur of the moment. As a larger than life character, NeNe has so many jokes that Peppermint could’ve played off of. This just seems like a missed opportunity for her.

On the runway, the queens were required to recreate one of Madonna’s iconic looks; a challenge from last season that was a complete train wreck.

With the opportunity for redemption, the queens could’ve picked thousands of Madonna looks, but of course, two of the looks were the same.

This task was an overall disappointment. The point of repeating this runway theme was to get it right. While there were some mishaps, the queens did a lot better than the contestants of last season.

Lip-syncing to Madonna’s Music, Peppermint and Cynthia battle it out. Peppermint steals the show and stays, and Cynthia Lee Fontaine sashays away.

RuPaul’s Drag Race airs Friday nights at 8PM on VH1.

Are You The One: Second Chances

Season 1: Episode 6

April 26th, 2017

With only five couples left, the contestants are halfway through the competition and only have a few more chances to win the game.

Back at the house, everyone takes shots for the eliminated couple, Asaf and Kaylen.

Devin thinks Tori got into Morgan’s head, but we all know he’s just threatened by them. They’re his biggest competition right now, and his ego won’t let him lose to “Medusa.”

Cam and Mikala continue to be the cutest couple in the competition. As the only successful perfect match to return to Second Chances, the couples feels as though being back in a house full of single individuals is taking a toll on them.

Despite previous belief, Alicia and Mike have hit it off… but I’m not buying it.

The Mission:

In every good relationship, you must be able to let your guard down and be yourself. This week, each of the perfect matches has to shoot a video showcasing their relationship. Each couple will shoot at a different location and come up with an original idea. After production, the video will be shown to audience who will rank their videos from best to worst.

Mikala and Cameron’s video took place at an aquarium. Wanting to show the traits that made them a perfect match, the couple tells a cute story of how they met while interacting with the fish. Mikala and Cameron have a huge advantage in this challenge. They are the only pair that is an actual couple, so their chemistry is real.

Tori and Morgan shoot their video at a carnival. They decide to go with an unconventional theme of an emotional robot (Morgan) that falls in love with a human (Tori). I’m not really sure how that illustrates their relationship, but ok…

Devin and Rashida play to their strengths and turn their video into a musical. At a boathouse, they take a ride on a canoe and sing to each other. How cute.

Mike and Alicia’s video was recorded on a bridge. They decided to show how their relationship developed by having a stranger slap Mike in the face. I don’t know either…

Adam and Shanley somehow ended up shooting their video in a tire shop. They decide to go with a concept that does not display any good relationship at all. In their scene, Shanley is fixing a car while Adam is standing on the sidelines.

I’m not sure if these matches know what a relationship is supposed to look like. I guess that’s why they all need a second chance.

Somehow, Adam and Shanley get third place, Devin and Rashida get second, and...

Cameron and Mikala win the challenge, increase their bank by $20,000, and receive immunity from The Choice.

Mike and Alicia come in last place. No shock there.

The Choice:

With a target still on Tori and Morgan’s back, the house chooses to send them to The Choice.

Tori reassures Morgan of their relationship by saying that they’ve been through a lot together and have still managed to be friends. “I don’t believe this one little thing can stop us.”

In a twisted turn of events, Tori and Morgan will not find out the decision of The Choice, nor will they ever. They will stay in the competition and just have to trust each other and continue building their relationship. 

That means that no one is being eliminated!

I’m not sure what that means for the competition, but it sure will make things more interesting in the house.

Are You The One: Second Chances airs Wednesday nights at 9PM on MTV.

Face Off: All Stars

Season 11: Episode 14

April 25th, 2017

In the final episode of the all-star season of Face Off, finalists Emily, Cig, and George are eager to hear about their last challenge.

As the finalists walk onto the set, actor, stuntman, and director, Jeff Wolfe, greets them. He announces their challenge to create animalistic Kung Fu masters for an actual filmed fight scene. 

Each finalist is to fabricate two human-animal hybrid characters with the help of some of the eliminated contestants. They must select two actors with predetermined storylines and must incorporate those stories into their designs.

First up, Cig selects the tiger and dragon characters. Next, George chooses the eagle and the snake, and lastly, Emily pick and the crane and the mantis.

In three days, the finalists must sculpt prosthetics, create molds of their sculpts, cast their molds in either silicon or foam latex, apply their prosthetics, paint them, and style their models into camera-ready creatures.

Unlike other reality competition shows, where competition calls for drama, Face Off contestants are more than willing to help each other out. Yes, most people enjoy watching drama unfold on TV, but I prefer watching the talent portion of theses kinds of shows.

By the end of the first day, Emily is at a slight advantage, with her cast done first and ready to be painted.

On the set of the production are award winning judges Glenn Hetrick, Ve Neill, Neville Page, and guest judge Jeff Wolfe.

The artists watch their makeups on camera as the actors perform their fighting scenes.

During deliberation, each artist’s creations are discussed and a decision is made.

The judges felt Emily was able to clearly communicate her ideas of an Asian culture inspired look. She had a wonderful silhouette with a strong contrast of organic influences and art.

The judges though George’s work had good movement, and could easily note that the fighting style he selected strongly influence his design. Neville was extremely impressed with the feather work on the eagle.

Cig’s work was impressive to the judges. Neville though both creations were really good and Glenn was impressed with how much he was able to get done in the short mount of time given. Ve thought Cig brilliantly executed his ideas.

After the deliberation and consideration, the judges select a winner.

And the winner of Face Off: All Stars is Cig!!

Winning a new Hyundai Veloster, a trip to one of Krylon’s international locations, and $100,000, Cig is the 11th winner of Face Off. He proved himself challenge after challenge and is a true all-star.

The next season of Face Off returns on June 13th at 9PM on Syfy.

Dancing with the Stars

Season 24: Episode 6

April 24th, 2017

On this episode of Dancing with the Stars, the eight remaining celebrities danced to songs from iconic boy bands and girl groups. For the first time this season, there were two rounds of dancing. This first was a normal couple dance, and the second was a head-to-head, girls vs. boys team dance.

With Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter serving as a guest judge this week, the pressure was on as Simone and Sasha kicked off the show.

Dancing to Destiny’s Child’s Survivor, Simone Biles and Sasha performed the Samba. Though Simone struggled to show off her sexy side, Carrie Ann still thought the performance was “powerful and poignant.” After the critiques from the judges, Simone and Sasha left the dance floor with a score of 35/40.

Next up were Bonner and Sharna.

Tonight, Bonner Bolton, professional bull rider, and Sharna danced the Rumba to Backstreet Boys’ I Want It That Way. While the Rumba is supposed to have continuous movement, Bonner’s dancing was stiff, and the judges noticed. To be fair, Bonner has metal plates from a bull riding accident and is therefore at a slight disadvantage. As the weakest couple in the competition right now, Bonner and Sharna needed a solid performance in order to move up on the leaderboard. Scoring a 30/40, the couple did just enough to move on in the competition.

Nancy Kerrigan and Artem danced the Paso Doble to En Vogue’s Free Your Mind. While Bruno believed Nancy “unleashed the beast” tonight, I thought she was way too serious. She blames her shoes for her missteps and is overall too much of a self-critic. As an Olympic gymnast, she’s used to being tough on herself. However, if she wants continue on in this competition, she needs to lighten up and have fun. The judges still enjoyed her dance and gave her a 33/40.

Dancing the jive to The Beach Boys’ Fun Fun Fun, Nick Viall was able to overcome his initial doubt and score a 28/40. Although Len enjoyed watching Nick and Peta’s fun and entertaining performance, he believed they lacked polish and finesse. With the worst score of the night, this put the pair in jeopardy of elimination.

Normani Kordei, of girl group Fifth Harmony, and Val danced the Salsa to The Pussycat Dolls’ When I Grow Up. Normani showed off her skills tonight with an assortment of complicated dance moves. Although she was able to demonstrate how great of a dancer she is, the judges felt that the dance was not a Salsa. While the judges seemed indifferent about tonight’s performance, the couple still managed to score a 38/40.

With one of the lowest scores of the night, scorning a 29/40, David Ross and Lindsay danced the Argentine Tango to N*SYNC’s I Want It That Way. The judges thought the couple’s dance was “rough around the edges” and I completely agree. I was focused on Lindsay the entire time. She looked gorgeous, and moved beautifully. David was not memorable at all. If anything, he was just a prop in Lindsay’s performance.

Tonight, Rashad Jennings and Emma danced the Tango to Four Tops Reach Out I’ll Be There. Rashad has been one of my favorites throughout the season, and today he did not disappoint. It wasn’t the most memorable performance, but his footwork was impressive, the dance was smooth, and he was in control. Scoring a 37/40, I have no doubt that he will make it all the way.

Another one of my favorites, Heather Morris and Maks, danced the Rumba to TLC’s Waterfalls. After being gone for three weeks, Maks is back and better than ever. The couple danced beautifully and their dance told a story. Like true professionals, the pair scored a perfect 40/40, receiving the first perfect score of the season.

In round two, the female celebrities danced head-to-head with the male celebrities, dancing to a medley of songs from different boy and girl groups. The ladies, receiving a score of 34/40, slightly surpassed the boys’ score of 33/40. Despite this, the men had already been told that they were safe from elimination.

With Heather Morris and Maks and Nancy Kerrigan and Artem in the bottom two, everyone thought they knew the outcome. In a shocking elimination, Heather and Maks were sent home, despite earning a perfect score.

Heather is an incredible dancer. She may have been at a disadvantage the past few weeks, but she bounced back, and definitely did not deserve to be sent home. Now that one of the teams that I thought was going to make it into the finale is gone, I have high expectations for Rashad and Emma to make it all the way and win the competition.

Dancing With the Stars airs Monday nights at 8pm on ABC.

RuPaul’s Drag Race

Season 9: Episode 5

April 21st, 2017

After Charlie Hides’ elimination, the queens look back and discuss why they believe she gave up. Within seconds, the queens quickly move on, and end their conversation.

RuPaul enters the workroom to announce the mini challenge. The queens must snap a sexy selfie with members of the pit crew, buff guys who are hired to just stand there and look good. Alexis Michelle steps up her game and wins the mini challenge, winning $1,000 and an advantage in this week’s “maxi challenge.”

In this week’s “maxi challenge,” the queens must star in a Drag Race original musical, Kardashians: The Musical. The queens must play a specific role and lip sync their way to the top.

With an advantage from winning the mini challenge, Alexis Michelle gets to choose which role she wants to perform as well as assign roles to the other contestants. 

She picks Kris for herself, Kim for Cynthia Lee Fontaine, Kourtney for Aja, Khloé for Nina Bonina Brown, Kendall for Valentina, Kylie for Farrah Moan, Eureka as North West, Shea Couleé as Blac Chyna, Peppermint as Britney Spears, Trinity Taylor as Paris Hilton, and Sasha Velour as Lindsay Lohan.

In a previous challenge, Eureka injured her knee and is now using crutches in the competition. This could put her at a serious disadvantage, especially in a physical challenge like this.

Given the role of Khloé Kardashian, Nina is upset that she didn’t get the part of Blac Chyna. With three people who could possibly play the part, naturally, two people are going to be left out. Sorry, Nina. In these kinds of challenges, you have to adjust to the role you are given. That is the challenge. If you can’t do it, you might as well go home.

In rehearsals, Farrah struggled with the choreography. If she can’t nail the moves, or at least fake it, she’s going to end up in the bottom and could potentially go home.

In last week’s episode, Eureka made an inappropriate remark in response to a comment on eating disorders. She owns up to her mistake and apologizes to Valentina and Sasha. Eureka’s apology segues to a discussion about eating disorders where the other queens open up about their battles.

What I like about this show is that social issues are discussed in a serious and respectable way. Now that the show has become very successful and more people are watching, RuPaul has seized the opportunity to talk about serious issues within the LGBTQ community that could relate to others as well.

The queens perform the lip-sync musical in front of judges, RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, and guest judges Todrick Hall, and Meghan Trainor.

Stealing the show with her dance moves and Jeremy Scott inspired runway look, Shea Couleé wins the challenge.

With a performance lacking personality, the judges felt Farrah Moan could’ve made better character choices, thus landing her a spot in the bottom two. As the star of the show, Cynthia Lee Fontaine didn’t know the words and failed at lip-syncing. The judges thought her gown swallowed her and her performance was underwhelming, therefore placing her in the bottom with Farrah.

In a mediocre lip-sync performance of Meghan Trainor’s Woman Up, Farrah and Cynthia left Ru questioning herself. She leaves the stage and returns minutes later.

In a shocking turn of events, RuPaul calls Eureka back onto the stage and sends her home with an open invitation to return next season when she has had enough time to properly allow her knee to heal.

With that being said, Farrah and Cynthia are safe for now, and return to the competition relieved.

RuPaul’s Drag Race airs Friday nights at 8PM on VH1.

MasterChef Junior

Season 5: Episode 11

April 20th, 2017

On this episode of MasterChef Junior, the remaining eight junior home cooks are welcomed back to the kitchen by Gordon Ramsey and Cristina Tosi for their next challenge. Accompanied by guest chef Edward Lee, the judges are excited to tell the home cooks about their next mystery box challenge.

In the middle of the kitchen stood an abnormally large mystery box. The box was lifted to reveal the ultimate surprise: their families!

As the children reunite with the families, they reveal what’s underneath their actual mystery box: a Blue Apron family plan box. In the box are enough ingredients to make a meal for a family.

Their challenge: using the ingredients provided in the box, create a meal fit for a family within 45 minutes. The young cooks should draw inspiration from their own families.

In this challenge, Tosi notes that presentation is key. Contestants must find a way to elevate their foods.

As the top three cooks in this challenge, Afnan, Justise, and Adam, are praised for their salmon dishes. Justise takes the crown this challenge, winning an advantage in the next challenge and her recipe publicized in Blue Apron’s website. At 11 years old, this girl cannot be beat!

For the main challenge, the young cooks are put to the ultimate test. In the first tag team challenge of the season, the home cooks must replicate a sushi platter made by professional chefs.

Justise’s advantage: she gets to pick the teams. She places herself with Shayne, Adam with Jasmine, Evan with Cydney, and Peyton with Afnan.

In this tag team challenge, only one chef is cooking at a time. When the judges call “switch,” the team members switch places. Both members of the losing team will go home.

After 60 minutes, the judges call time and judge the dishes.

First up is Adam and Jasmine. Despite some minor communication struggles, Adam and Jasmine were able to pull it off. The judges thought their dish was very finessed. Their sushi platter was stunning and noted as something you would see at a high-end restaurant.

Next were Peyton and Afnan. These two worked horribly together. They weren’t listening to each other and even went as far as to ignore one another. Their rolls were cut too thinly. While their tempura was nice, the batter could’ve been thinner.

Justise and Shayne worked well together as a team. They talked to each other like team members are supposed to do. Ramsey thought their tempura was cooked perfectly.

Lastly, Evan and Cydney, the youngest cooks in the competition, struggled with their execution this week. They cracked under pressure, presenting a slopping dish. While their shrimp had a nice cook, their presentation was overall a mess.

Adam and Jasmine are victorious this week, and move on in the competition along with Justise and Shayne.

With Evan and Cydney and Peyton and Afnan in the bottom, the judged decide to send Peyton and Afnan home.

While the two are strong cooks, they just had a rough day. It’s tough watching kids go home, but they really are all so talented. As Shayne said, “age does not matter in this kitchen.” These kids gain so much from this competition. At a young age, they learn new skills, gain confidence, and overall obtain a great learning experience.  

MasterChef Junior airs Thursday nights at 8PM on FOX.

Are You The One: Second Chances

Season 1: Episode 5

April 19th, 2017

As the house calms down after Hayden and Carolina’s dramatic elimination, Asaf and Kaylen celebrate their continuation in the competition.

Tori hopes that she can rekindle her relationship with Morgan, but Morgan is reluctant. There have been trust issues in the past, and he believes that old habits die hard.

The Mission:

In every good relationship, partners must be supportive and in-sync with each other. This week, the perfect matches must compete in an obstacle course of mud crawling, balance beam walking, digging through a pit of mud filled with bicycle parts, building the bicycle, and riding it through the finish line.

Comparing the mission to The Hunger Games, Tori and Morgan kick off the course on a high note in first place.

While Cameron and Mikala and Shanley and Adam struggle with communication and compromise, Devin and Rashida continue working well together and are slowing finding out why they are a perfect match.

Alicia struggles to make it past the balance beam portion of the obstacle course. Her perfect match Mike is not very supportive and encouraging, putting more pressure on her to finish the obstacle, rather than relieving it. As much as they claim to have a good relationship, when it comes down to it, Mike and Alicia are not compatible. With that in mind, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were next to go home.

Finishing first in the obstacle course and putting $20,000 in their bank are Devin and Rashida. Following not too far behind is Tori and Morgan in second, winning $10,000, and in third place comes Cameron and Mikala, increasing the bank amount by $5,000.

Struggling to find the balance in their relationship, Asaf and Kaylen finish in last place, cutting their bank in half and putting them up for elimination. Kaylen believes Asaf is too goofy and energetic. Although that is sometimes good in a standard relationship, he cannot focus when it’s important. When there’s money on the line, people get serious, and Asaf just can’t focus.

The Choice:

One perfect match will have to trust each other and make a choice that determines their fate in the competition. They must choose to steal or share the money accumulated in their bank. If both individuals decide to share, they stay in the competition and their money is safe, while the couple that completed the mission in last place goes home. If they both steal, they go home with nothing: no money and no relationship. If one steals and the other shares, they both go home, however, the person who steals goes home with all of the money in the bank, while the other goes home empty-handed.

Feeling threatened by Tori and Morgan’s $75,000 winnings so far, the house chooses to send them into The Choice. Rooting for a double “steal”, the ultimate betrayal, Tori and Morgan get a final minute to reassure each other.

They’ve had a rocky past filled with trust and honesty issues. Tori straight up tells Morgan than she is hitting “share,” but should he believe her? She cheated on him with his roommate in the past and he is still doubtful.

Despite the uncertainty, Tori and Morgan both hit “share,” continuing their journey for an open and honest relationship, and sending Asaf and Kaylen home.

Are You The One: Second Chances airs Wednesday nights at 9PM on MTV.

Welcome!

Watching television is a staple in my daily routine. I never go a day without watching TV, even if it’s only on as background noise while I’m doing something else. Every day I look forward to my hour, or two or three, of television indulgence; especially watching the insignificant shows about random people’s lives – aka reality TV.

Television brings people together. It gives people something to talk about and allows individuals with similar TV preferences to be a part of a larger community. 

In my blog, I am choosing to focus on reality competition shows. Not only do these types of shows peak my interest, but they let the viewer pick a favorite contestant, make predictions, and overall watch ordinary people compete for money and fame while completing tasks that test their specific talents.

Reality Report is a platform that will allow me to voice my opinion on the shows and the contestants, as well as state any possible predictions that I might have. 

Examples of shows that I may cover include, America’s Next Top Model, Are You the One, Are You the One: Second Chances,The Bachelor, Dancing with the Stars, Face Off, Masterchef Junior, Project Runway, RuPaul’s Drag Race, and more.

If you're someone who shares the same affinity for reality TV as I do, follow Reality Report and you won't be sorry :)
